I would give Pacific Northwest Catering 10 stars if I could for catering our recent work event. There were challenging factors with logistics including parking, navigating stairs, setting up in a houseboat. PNC's execution was flawless from beginning to end! Coordinating with Al went smoothly. Carl set up the food and the presentation was beautiful. And of course, the food was delicious! Our guests were impressed! I would not hesitate to use them again! read more

Pacific Northwest Catering - Caterers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I am continuously amazed and impressed by the team at Pacific Northwest Catering. My company has exclusively used PNC as a caterer for our events for the past 3 years. They do an outstanding job on everything from quality of food to presentation to service. From the planning of the event to the execution, I trust them to provide a flawless experience for our guests and clients. What I appreciate the most about PNC is the fact that I see the same faces every time. Drew has been our banquet captain for many events now and is a joy to work with. At our most recent event, the wait staff went above and beyond to make sure our guests had a great experience. Al is a joy to work with and I know I'm in good hands when he helps us to plan our events. I'm looking forward to seeing them at our next event in December! read more

I wanted to reach out and thank you for all you did for us and working through all of the confusion during our wedding! All of our guests loved the food (even those who are picky!). We will definitely be reaching out again if needed and recommending you to all of our friends! We want to give a special thanks to Aleks who was our bartender! She has phenomenal customer service and was so friendly. So many people had such great things to say about her! She went as far as chasing me down to make sure I ate before the ceremony and offered to help with our baby so I could eat dinner. Please pass along my thanks so she knows how valued and appreciated she is! She was a highlight of our day! read more

I attended an event catered by this company recently. The food was wonderful. Presentation was very nice. I would highly recommend Pacific Northwest Catering. read more

Dear Al, Matt, Carl, Carrie, Barbara and everyone else behind the scenes... Steve and I cannot begin to express our sincere gratitude for the outstanding, stupendous, exceptional catering you and your team provided for Steve's 70th Birthday Party. Our guests, including our Uncle John (who is wheelchair-bound), raved about Pacific Northwest Catering. He commented on how kind and attentive your team was during the party. Your team assured me that everything was in order throughout the entire party planning process and certainly during Sunday's party, and I didn't need to concern myself with anything. I also want to mention that several guests calling us after the party to praise the exceptional food and catering support Pacific Northwest Catering provided. Although I don't have any immediate plans for another party, you will be my first and only phone call when I do. Thank you a million. Best wishes, Peggy J read more

Let me tell you that I just lucked out when I found this caterer! I hired them to work my Mother's Memorial Service (10-1-23). Anyone who has planned a similar event knows the feeling of emotional overload that you are during this time. Al was so patient with me as a stumbled through planning the food and drink portion. He makes it easy by providing sample menus for memorial celebrations. He was also flexible with the choices that I made within each option. I had looked at several other companies that just didn't fit. The others that I interviewed were either ridiculously expensive, rude, impatient, inflexible or wouldn't bother to return a call! Following the event, Al contacted me to find out if I was satisfied with the service. I mentioned that there had been an oversight. It was not a major issue but Al got back to me right away. The issue was resolved in minutes! I do not experience that level of customer care often anymore. Thanks PNW for providing a beautiful and scrumptious array of food. Don't waste your time looking at other caterers! read more

Al and the PNW Catering Crew were outstanding. Starting with the planning phase, Al was so responsive and flexible. Our group continued to grow even up to the date of the event, and it didn't phase him at all. We did a cookout style menu since we were hosting a tailgate at the UW game and the food was outstanding. Plus his onsite crew were courteous, hard working and definitely went the extra mile for our guests. I would 100% use him again. read more

Our experience with PNW Catering was beyond incredible. Chef Matt and staff were so friendly, professional and the food at our wedding is still being talked about! We got lucky when we found this company and the planning process was seamless. Chef Matt was accommodating to all of our requests and changes and communication was quick and efficient. Would definitely have them cater any future big events- you cannot go wrong with them. Thank you for everything and for making our big day that much better! read more

Pacific Northwest catered my daughter's wedding on Dec 2. I cant count the number of compliments we received that night and even over the next few days regarding the catering service and meal. We had the prime rib with their golden mashed potatoes, vegetable medley along with the salmon bow tie pasta and three different appetizers. It was incredible! the food was outstanding, the Prime rib was delicious and cooked to perfection but the dish that stole the show was salmon bow tie pasta. The set up was beautiful. The staff was professional and worked wonderfully without our wedding planner. I will be honest, I needed communication and customer service a lot over the year of planning the wedding and Al was there for me each and every time. They were all so patient with me. They answered all my questions and even lent some encouragement when I thought I was about to lose my mind. I would encourage anyone on the fence about who to use for their catering, to go with Pacific Northwest Catering. You will be so happy you did! read more

We had the best experience with Pacific Northwest Catering for our wedding back in 2021. Like most couples in 2020, our wedding had to be postponed to the following year. Al and his team were super flexible during the planning stage and graciously allowed us to change our contract to the rescheduled ceremony date. From our tasting session to the day of the wedding, Pacific Northwest Catering was very responsive and helpful with all of our questions. They handled all of our banquet rentals, catering and bartending services, which made it easier than us having to coordinate multiple vendors. I also appreciate the insight that they provided when it came to menu decisions and adjustments. We ended up adding in a cake, desserts and an additional food item for the buffet outside of our initial proposal, and Al was great about offering suggestions and asking for references of what we were looking for. Overall, a very smooth and easy process and we'd definitely recommend PNC for any future event catering! read more

Al helped me create the perfect menu for my dad's memorial service. The onsite staff were friendly, professional, and efficient. And what a beautiful spread! Everything (clam chowder, Caesar salad, sandwiches, pies) was delicious and thoughtfully displayed. I highly recommend Pacific Northwest Catering for your next event! read more

I enjoyed a tasting at their restaurant a couple months ago and really loved many qualities about the food and service. Scheduling was very easy and Al got back to my fiancé and I right away with a quote. The quote was very reasonable and competitive with other caterers. Al was always super polite and prompt in all his emails. Upon arriving at the restaurant they seated me and offered me some coffee. One of the chefs came out and sat with me to review our estimate and menu. There had been some confusion and the menu items weren't correct, but that can happen through email. They were great about getting things together for me to sample. Their gluten free chicken was really delicious and I also enjoyed several of the other items I tried. Ultimately we chose to go with a caterer who was also able to supply us with all the gf cupcakes for our guests which simplifies our lives, but I would definitely suggest checking these guys out if you're looking for a company to cater your wedding or other event! read more

I've had the privilege of working alongside these guys on occasion over the years, and I've never encountered a more positive, well organized and welcoming crew. It definitely shows in their work. read more

PNW Catering did an excellent job for our event. They provided a great menu at a reasonable price and were very responsive to all our inquiries. The setup was lovely and professional. Guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food. read more

I cannot recommend these guys enough! For the past few years I have been attending a Rotary event in December and each time I am blown away by the food. This year they had prime rib as the main entree and it just melted in my mouth! My husband even went back for second. The jus that they served with it was salty but the good kind of salty. Their garlic mashed potatoes were equally delicious and the asparagus was cooked perfectly, not mushy at all. There were a few other side dishes they had that I skipped on but everyone at our table said the dishes were very good. The staff is always very friendly and helpful, taking away dishes as soon as we were finished. These guys will be first on my list of places to call when I have an event in the future. read more

This pop up in Edmonds, Five Corners, was just what a rainy night dinner take out is about. For $12 I was able to take home the Carnita Dish for me and the Pot Roast for my husband. The Carnitas with beans, cheese, tortillas, sour cream and sauce very tasty and surprisingly good. Husband's pot roast, gravy, potatoes and carrots, great. The gravy was almost to die for. Would have bought the clam chowder, but at 5:30pm, sold out. Next time will go at 4pm, then heat at later time. So glad to have found this couple, they are working hard to make a go of things. read more

We had our wedding reception catered by Pacific Northwest Catering this summer and can't recommend them highly enough. We wanted to do heavy hors d'ouevres and were impressed from the start with the options and responsiveness of the company. Scheduling a tasting was easy in their quirky little restaurant, and they continued the pattern of excellent responsiveness and customer service after we booked them. To be completely honest, we weren't crazy about the food at the tasting, but we were really impressed how how all-inclusive they were, with respect to what they would do for the price, and the customer service. We made some changes to the menu, post-tasting, and figured we were paying for the service - anyway, who expects wedding food (on a reasonable budget) to be outrageously good? The day of the wedding was so smooth, and the servers were seamless in doing their jobs. They handled the buffet line beautifully and were willing to cut the cakes up for all the guests (even though they did not supply the dessert). They did an absolute rockstar job. But here's the kicker: the food was amazing. We loved what we ate (my husband promptly charged off for seconds), and we got a ton of comments from guests about how good it was and wanting to know who had catered. My best guess is the menu we had picked for the tasting just wasn't right for us (our bad; not theirs!!), and when we made changes, it made all the difference. Our particular highlights (because everything was delicious): the lime chipotle steak skewers (WOW), the deviled eggs, the hot artichoke dip, and the crab-stuffed mushrooms. Our vegetarian guests loved the Vietnamese spring rolls with Thai peanut hoisin sauce. Prices were absolutely reasonable for what you get, food was EXCELLENT, and the customer service both before and during the event was phenomenal. A special shout-out to the day-of crew: their hustle during the event (especially in a quirky church basement setting) was amazing. Definitely recommend this catering company. read more

We recently had a corporate dinner catered for 105 people. We chose the Thai Fry buffet. We couldn't have been more pleased from beginning to end. We had some people with dietary restrictions and they were very accommodating. Ordering was simple. Al listened to everything we had to say. Everything was set up perfectly. The food was excellent, the prices were competitive. The staff was so cordial and helpful with everything from start to finish. Everyone loved the food. We were so pleased! THANK YOU! read more

We are so glad we chose Pacific Northwest Catering to cater our afternoon wedding. After a thorough search, I decided on PNW Catering because it was less expensive than the competition and rated well. They also rent items like linens, cake tables, plates, silverware, etc. for an additional cost. You can also hire one of their servers if you want setup, cleanup, and help throughout your event. Since our reception was in the middle of the afternoon, we went with appetizer platters. It took a while to set a date for our tasting appointment because our schedules didn't line up for a few weeks, but when we finally tasted some of our chosen platter items, we were set. They also increased their prices between our initial quote and our tasting appointment, but they honored the original price. We were so thankful for that! Our wedding guests loved the food and the server we hired was very helpful. They are extremely busy so sometimes it might take a while to respond. I found that sending a follow-up email was helpful. Highly recommend! read more

I have used Pacific Northwest Catering a few times for drop-off service. My emails are responded to quickly and the service is excellent. I am the event planner for my company and I hire caterers and venues several times a year. This team has been one of the most responsive and professional teams I've had the pleasure of working with. That level of excellence combined with delicious food means I'll be hiring them again. read more

I have worked with Matt MaKay for over 12 years. He has catered events ranging from business Christmas parties, our daughter's bridal shower last spring, to boat dinner parties. He was especially compassionate and wonderful when he catered our reception after my Father's funeral service. I have had everything from sit down formal dinners to buffets. He has provided the flowers, decor, themes and wonderful food deliciously prepared and decoratively presented. His meals are varied, and he manages to accommodate many allergies and preferences. So, Matt is first rate, and my preferred caterer for all of my events. read more

We used Pacific Northwest Catering for our wedding this July and couldn't have been happier! The food was excellent and we keep getting complements on how good the food was. The presentation of the food was also impeccable. Chef Matthew and Al were a dream to work with. They were very attentive with all our questions and went out of their way to make sure our event ran smoothly. They were also very knowledge and friendly. We will use them again and would highly recommend them for any upcoming wedding or event. read more

We used Pacific Northwest Catering for an in-home party and I was very pleased. Even though this was not a big order, Al was happy to provide a tasting of the items we were contemplating, something I didn't really expect and that other caterers understandably won't do for such a small group (25). The food was very good and Al was very accommodating. We had an assortment of appetizers and he delivered everything right on time, gave me instructions on how to finish cooking/heating the hot items as needed for serving, and was very flexible about coming back sometime after the party to pick up their pans, since we are not too far from their location. read more

We used this catering service for our wedding. The food was good, but all other aspects were terrible, especially service and pricing. They increased the price, charged for things like guest table cloths that any other caterer would provide free of charge, and made it through the entire wedding without lit the actually talking to anyone about what they were doing. As a result of this, they lit the decorative candles from our centerpieces and risked our $500 venue deposit. There was one server who thought it was difficult to walk around the room and decided that she should be stationary during the cocktail hour and have the guests come to her. Also, they charged us for a "service charge" and a mandatory 15% "tip" and then had the balls to put out a tip jar and ask for money from our guests. I asked them kindly to remind me what the service charge entailed and they simply ignored my questions. Our contract stated that they would bring leftover boxes so guests could take food and cake with them. None were brought and the caterers had everything broken down, packed away and gone before the reception had even ended; without telling anyone of their plans. We were about 20 people under our guest count, so there had to have been plenty of leftovers. read more

Pacific Northwest Catering was an incredible find. Chef Matt is honest, organized, very accessible by email and phone, and made some amazing food for our wedding. Our guests LOVED the food, and there was plenty to go around. The staff were friendly, efficient, and professional, and very self-sufficient. I didn't have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding; Pacific Northwest Catering showed up, unpacked, set-up, served food, cake, alcohol, and cleaned up and took care of everything for us. It was wonderful! The best part about PNC is their upfront approach to money - Chef Matt made sure to lay out all the costs involved in the catering, and included tax, gratuity, rentals, and every other little detail in the bill - so the initial quote is exactly what we ended up paying. Thanks for being straight-forward and so easy to work with! I couldn't have asked for better! Five stars! read more

We used Pacific Northwest Catering as our lunch caterer for our conference. Everything about the process was excellent. The Operations Manager was helpful and responsive when we reached out for a quote. The staff who delivered the food were efficient. And the food itself was perfect. The boxed lunches they offered were massive--I know no one went hungry! The Chef was really helpful in handling food allergies and dietary restrictions. They even went out of their way to make us a vegan/gluten free dessert option! I was really impressed at every step of the way and would highly recommend this caterer again. read more

Pacific Northwest Catering was absolutely amazing! They catered both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding reception and I'd use them again for absolutely any event: formal, informal, business, anything. They were one of my favorite vendors to work with throughout the entire planning process. Al was just incredibly helpful and patient as we planned our menu, letting us taste many, many different items at several different visits and suggesting things we'd forgotten or never considered but definitely wanted. Al was totally responsive to all our questions and very, very accommodating to our schedules, needs, budgets, tastes, helping plan out those small little logistics to the events that you just can't anticipate, just everything you could think of. PNW Catering definitely went above and beyond even my highest expectations. Chef Matt did an beautiful job with the food for both our events. Absolutely delicious. Tons of compliments from lots of fancy foodie guest. Everything was perfectly prepared and presented (much better than I'd seen at most other caterers during tastings), fresh (they even grilled marinated chicken and steak right on site at the wedding), and tasty. Servers was super nice, on top of everyone's drinks and dishes, but not pushy. Very very friendly. I liked these guys and gals so much it was just like they were guests at the wedding (just working and doing a bang up job at it). Long story short, these guys are the best. 5 stars. 10 outta 10. A+. Matt and Al are awesome dudes and will take care of everything. Use these guys and you won't be disappointed. read more

This review is for Al and his excellent Customer Service. Unfortunately our plans for a Company Summer Family Picnic changed and we had to cancel. Up to that point, Al was a huge help in finding a venue, planning the menu, and making other suggestions. If his level of Customer Service is anything like the food, I am sure it would have been outstanding! I would definitely call them again if I had another need for a caterer. Thanks, Al! read more

Matt and his crew catered our younger daughter's wedding this past Saturday, and I cannot say enough good things about him, his crew and their food. He catered our older daughter's wedding 2 years ago and it was such a great experience there was never a question that we would ask him to help us out again! They were quickly responsive, met all our needs, were on time on the day, totally engaged with staging and orchestrating everything as it evolved, and we've received nothing but compliments, one guest said best catered food she's ever had and the groom's aunt said best wedding she's ever. Particular shoutout to Esther, our lead for both weddings, she's just so smart, experienced and wonderful, and all the other crew were cheerful, energetic and efficient!!! read more

Excellent customer service. Fabulous catering, professional and attention to detail. Arrived well ahead of time to appoint everything. The salads, sandwiches and desserts were fresh and scrumptious.

We were very impressed and so appreciative of Pacific Northwest Catering Company's ability to help our company with a last minute team happy hour. They were very responsive and put together a delicious menu that delighted our guests Al, Matt, and team had less than a week to put things together for us, and our guests would've never guessed that. The food was amazing and leftovers were neatly packed and put away so we could enjoy them at the office the next day. Their attention to detail ensured that everyone had a great time! Thank you so much!! read more

Pacific Northwest Catering was delicious and cost effective for my wedding. We chose an Italian menu, and they hosted a lovely tasting for us (though it is a little confusing trying to fine their building). Food was great quality and the chefs are very nice. We worked with Al and Matt, who were very accommodating to budget and what we wanted. The only issue we had was that when they would update the quote total for us, they would not always be correct or easily show what we still owed. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely recommend! read more

They catered our house party for 75 people. They were prompt, friendly and dealt with last minute changes to the menu. The price was right as well. Everyone raved about the food, especially the coconut prawns. They were recommended to us by several other people who have used them for work events. I highly recommend Chef Matt! read more

My husband and I used this company for my daughter's first communion. We received many compliments on the delicious food. Chef Matt was very professional and always prompt with returning my emails/phone calls. It was worth every single penny because I was able to enjoy the day instead of running around. My only suggestion would be to separate/cut the baked potatoes to make them look more inviting. We had a lot of extra potatoes left over. I also wish the chicken would have looked the same way it was served at the tasting. It seemed to have more creme than I remembered. Overall, my experience was excellent and I'm definitely going to use Pacific Northwest Catering Company for my son's first communion. read more

Chef Matt is a supper nice person and professional! The food he made during the food tasting was really good! They responded to my questions very fast during the inquiry process as well! read more
